STACKED An Original Oil Painting by Claire Beadon Carnell Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days Challenge Day Seven

When I first approached painting these metal measuring
cups, I wasn't sure where to begin. Then I noticed the wonderful
abstract shapes, and the painting began to 'paint' itself!
Don't you love it when that happens?

One of the great benefits of doing this challenge is
getting to meet new artists. I absolutely love the work of
fellow Pennsylvania artist Susan Williamson.

All of my paintings for this Challenge will be done in a 6 x 6 format,
and my main goal while painting from life
is to LOOSEN UP and USE MORE PAINT...
something which will only benefit my work.

"We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls." -- Mother Teresa
